What the heck is going on? Will the middle class always suffer no matter what?

You sound stupid. Where are you shopping to find prices like this? I couldn’t pay this much for onions even if I wanted to, and I live in DC.

Yup. 1000% OP.

This economy is a disaster.

I've been buying ingredients to make a pie for a Memorial Day cookout. I sh*t you not, I've spent over $35 to buy flour, butter, sugar, and the fruit going into it. INSANE.

SureOP, sure. Butter, flour and sugar will run you $15 max- all pantry staples. No fruit is in season except strawberries, and those are not costing you $20.

Are you going to use all 4 lbs of that sugar in a single pie? And all 5 lbs of flour? Because that really is insane.

Unless you buy at a DC farmers market, like Eastern Market, where buying enough strawberries to fill a pie really does cost $20

Butter: $8.50
Flour: $8.79
Sugar: $5.99
Berries: $7.50

Add tax. $35.

Go back to your expired food section in the lowest of the low store, Carol. I bet you buy flour with weevils in it, then brag about how thrifty of a shopper you are, lol.

I buy 50 lb for $20 then store it in the freezer like a normal person. I don’t waste $9 for 5-10 lb flour, Susan.

I have a particular frozen entree I like forlunch when I have to go to the office. It was usually around $5 months ago. Now it's up to $7. I can sometimes find it on sale but on a typical day, at Giant or Safeway, it's $6.99.
Prices ARE going up but I guess that no longer matters since it was just a talking point anyway.

You can not be this dumb.

No workers for picking foods or supply chains means higher prices dummy.

Everything he says has consequences to hard working Americans
